All Saints church in the small village of Findern just a few miles from Derby.

This the side door, I was drawn by the diagonal joinery and detail in the door as well as the visual metaphor for our potential second lockdown.

Happy days!

Torrey Pines Nature Preserve which is located on the Pacific Ocean in San Diego, CA. is open during the pandemic lockdown. Since it's only a few miles away, it provides a tranquil place to hike and enjoy nature. As I was leaving, the Red-Tailed hawk graced me with a fly by and some terrific acrobatic manuvers.

Wishing all my Flickr friends a peaceful, joyful, and safe holiday season.

LOCK-DOWN

For the last month because our health is not at all good, we have been on a lock-down. We are fortunate that we have had relatives and good friends who have helped us in our time of need. Going to shops, the pharmacy and our local hospital to pick up vital stores and medicines.

So to everyone a big Thank you and a message of ‘Keep Safe’ to you all and your families.

I show this series of photos to show that we are keeping busy, listening to music, reading, painting and my latest venture into cooking via video link with my Granddaughters. We made a coffee and walnut cake last week but I ate it before I remembered to get the camera out.

I’m currently listening the Beatles ‘All you need is Love” and it seems very appropriate to the occasion.

Best wishes to all

Patrick

Yes I know that Flickr is full of bird shots but when you can't get out with your camera you have to take shots in the garden so I thought I'd try and capture a bird a day. today is the ever present Sparrow tucking in to a nice suet nugget morsel. Have a good day everyone.

LOCK-DOWN

In many ways it seems that LOCKDOWN has not totally passed by although we are still getting our boosters, for those that are in bad health or over 75. Currently in the GB (14-07-2022) there are over 2.7 million people with Covid, so contagion fully in check.

These following images were taken at a time when full lockdown was in place and things were very different. However this is the last of the postings.

One of the books that I read during that time. A wonderful author who died suddenly. Sorely missed, his books were so descriptive and imaginative.

First published in England 1932

First published by Penguin Books 1939

Introduction by Andre Gide

I'm starting to miss going to the beach now.

You can go outside and excersise once a day. Wing stretches was a good way to begin this Sparrows fitness regime.

I'm thinking on the song 'Yellow Submarine'.

A yellow ball lonely on a deep blue background like a yellow submarine lonely in the blue wide ocean. Maybe, many people are lonley in the Corona Lockdown, which is why I've choosen a minimalist motif.

Starting from today I've put my Wood Pigeons into lockdown. LoL.

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fave my images.

Gracias por visitar y comentar.HMM

Es gibt sicher niemanden unter uns, der coronabedingt nicht ein paar besondere Momente in Erinnerung behalten wird. Hoffentlich waren es bei euch positive Momente, bei mir war es zumindest so.

In Erinnerung blieb unter anderem dieser Abend im Frühjahr 2020 während des ersten sogenannten "Lockdown" in Sachsen. Die Kaiser's mussten sich zu viert mit Homeschooling und Homeoffice arrangieren, was ganz gut geklappt hat, den Gang in die Natur aber umso wichtiger machte. Wo sonst kann man Kraft und Ruhe so intensiv tanken - das geht mir zumindest so.

Eine dieser "Corona-Touren" führte mich abseits stark begangener Wanderwege (Kontakte sollten ja gemieden werden) zum Sonnenuntergang auf den Kleinhennersdorfer Stein in der Sächsischen Schweiz. Hier wartete ein entspannter Sonnenuntergang darauf, festgehalten zu werden.

Kommt gut und gesund durch diese bewegten Zeiten!

The urge to get out.

One upside of the outbreak is that a few companies are offering apps for free or putting them on offer. I bought Affinity Photo for half price and created this composite in it today from a couple of photos, great photoshop alike for iPad.
